MUSCAT: Mistal, the luxury watch and jewelry boutique by Ajit Khimji Group, proudly announces the launch of, the first official sports watch from Greubel Forsey – the GMT Sport. 

With the latest release, Greubel Forsey showcases a new face, the GMT Sport – the most sport-oriented timepiece to date of the haute horlogerie brand. In 2015, the GMT Black paved the way for the GMT Sport. Building on this foundation, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have invented and now present the result, a lightweight and ultra-strong, profiled titanium case with ovoid bezel and integrated lugs to showcase the new movement. With the completely new and original titanium case and water-resistance to 100 meters, the new watch firmly positions itself in a “sports” league of its own. 

Greubel Forsey has always had a special talent for expressing the beauty of asymmetry. In their latest creation, the movement was constructed from scratch – from the suspended arched bridge for the hours and minutes display, to the unique showcase of the Tourbillon 24 Seconds and the universal time display with three dimensional globe. Another truly assertive Greubel Forsey – and a revolution: the successful alliance between ergonomics, technicity and architecture. 

The display side of the GMT Sport presents classic Greubel Forsey architecture, an open, orchestrated theatre between suspended bridges, semi-apparent wheels and floating dials in three dimensions. In keeping with the sporting vocation of this timepiece, the focus is on legibility and efficiency. The hours and minutes are displayed by concentric open worked hands whose curved profile follows the curvature of the case and movement. Mounted on the suspended arch centre bridge with black treated openings, the gear train literally follows the curve of the bridge, overlooking the globe to drive the hour and minute hands. Ensuring excellent visibility in the dark, the triangular tips of the arrow-shaped hands and the markers on the minute-hour-ring are enhanced with luminescent coating. An auxiliary dial between 10 and 11 o’clock combines the small seconds on a large rotating disc, and the second time zone display with a hand. These two coaxial displays with red triangular indexes underline this timepiece’s technicity. 

The 72-hour chronometric power reserve (ensured by two coaxial barrels in series) is indicated on a sector at 3 o’clock with its openworked hand and highlighted red triangle. Housed underneath the arched bridge, the power reserve differential is subtly engraved with Greubel Forsey’s values. Whether they are visible on the dial side or concealed in the caseback side, each of the 435 components of this hand-wound movement, including titanium plates and bridges, respect the most demanding criteria of the Greubel Forsey Atelier and the teams utmost concern for the finest workmanship.

“At Mistal, we are proud to be part of Greubel Forsey’s pioneering foray into sport watch territory. The GMT Sport flaunts the magnificence that is Greubel Forsey and is for those who want to wear one of the most finely finished timepieces in a more casual setting,” commented Dharmesh A. Khimji, Managing Director, Mistal. 

With its unique blend of sophisticated luxury and intimate service, Mistal is the sole representatives of Greubel Forsey in Oman.
